What's that stuff it's spewing that then grows a bunch of dendrites? An internal organ? A secretion?

Basically it's the worm's guts. It uses them to wrap up the prey and then eat them up.

The messed up part is how it branches out afterwards. It's weirdly organized and disconcerting. I guess it's like an organic net.
